Howdy! This is ON topic because I'm sure some of those books are about quilting. Of course they are! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKVcQnyEIT8 Ragmop/Sandy- often finding joy in books

I have a just 5 yr old that refuses to eat what she doesn't think she will like. A couple of nights ago I made hamburger soup. Essentially just hamburger and grated carrots. Things she has eaten well before. Well she sat at the table for almost an hour, gagging and making all sorts of noise....

Those of you who know me fairly well will be 'surprised' to see these quilts! Well - it's one really, double-sided. I am showing you at this stage, in case the double-siding doesn't work (Eek!) or in case I mess up the quilting (double Eek!). In any case, I don't think the quilting will show...

Howdy! March 21, 2009 - National Quilting Day http://www.nqaquilts.org/ ....whatever your nation. ;-) Time to stock up w/ M&Ms. Cheers!

You asked for it and it could be that you are going to get it. Pat on Her Hill persuaded me that I didn't need to learn how to shoot high-level complicated things. All I want to do is take simple pictures and send them. That's all. I got truly jealous when Carole sent me a picture of an...

I do not like cleaning my house- but I try to do some cleaning every day so it doesn't get out-of-hand. I know some ladies/men get a great deal of satisfaction from and enjoy keeping a clean and neat house. I like the results but NOT the process. I'm trying to re-adjust my thinking into it...

I have noticed that Webshots has started using annoying plugins to flog something or other that requires you to unclick it to make it stop it's syrupy voiced intrusion. It might be time to look for a new photo hosting site. Any suggestions? Thank heavens I have copies of all my photo's in a back up...

My grandmother would call this an "old Indian trick". She didn't worry about being politically correct since she was an American Indian. Anyhow . .. . I just set 28 beautiful sampler squares on point. Generally, the outside of the squares are ivory. The setting triangles are so dark...

I went to the NJ Quilt Fest yesterday as I do every year. Last year I bought a needle punch kit complete with fabric, pattern, and threads. Then of course I needed the special needle and a hoop. A pretty hefty investment for a craft I had not done before. The pattern I purchased was a Goose...

I had the reconstruction...part one on the 12th of December. I swear I have been in my own personal hell since. I have to say so far the surgeon has done a good job. Next week I am ready again for more saline in the breast expander. It's painful and uncomfortable but the end result should be...

If any of you frequent Wal-Mart fabric section, I just heard on CNN that WM has decided to discontinue fabrics. They will expand their crafting supplies. Fabrics need someone to always be there to measure and cut, and they can save $$ by not selling fabric. Not that their fabric was all that...

Not so long ago someone posted pictures of some gorgeous little favour boxes made of fabric. They were beaded and embroidered. The thread included links to other box designs for similar items. I have searched and Googled but I can't find them. Grateful if anyone can help by pointing me in...

I am working on stamped embroider quilt blocks to make a queen size quilt. I am using 1 color DMC floss (red). I have already done a baby quilt (small embroider quilt blocks). I don't know why I just love to embroidery. Am I the only one who does this project?? I haven't seen any post about...

I'm planning on finishing DD's Christmas WUH. It's about 3' X 5'. I'd like to put some shiny 'beads, baubles, stones' on it. I need advice on HOW TO. I know there is a 'heat gun' that you put sparklies on with but I don't know what I'm talking about. Do any of you have one? How does it work? is...

I'm curious as to what everyone uses as their homepage. Mine is a page my cousin created that has lots and lots of links to various thing that I use almost every day. I don't know how many people use it as their homepage, but it's a whole bunch. http://www.ksuwolf.com/ Well, he doesn't have...

Hi! I'm new here and have never belonged to a newsgroup before. How do I change the way my name displays? Currently it shows my real name, and I'd like to use my nickname. I would be grateful if someone could help me with that....TIA Mary "Cornwoman" in AZ

So, I've been having this problem that when quilting, my sewing machine skips stitches, then eventually the upper thread snaps. So it went in for a check/repair. Apparently they adjusted some things, but there was nothing specifically wrong. Today was my first chance to try quilting with it...
